Good to know

Every thoughtful detail is crafted to enhance the uniqueness of your stay. The semi-outdoor kitchen, nestled among lush foliage, infuses a tropical zest into your culinary adventures. Our outdoor bathroom, with its shower integrated into a coconut tree, offers a day-long connection with nature. In the front, encircled by vibrant gardens, the two-person bathtub with both hot and cold water options provides the perfect sanctuary to relax with a glass of wine after a day full of discovery, all while basking in the beauty of your floral haven. The house is designed with panels on every side that open to welcome the breeze, offering a natural cooling effect. Our indoor and outdoor gardens, cultivated with love, are a haven for birds and butterflies, enveloping you in the sweet fragrances of select blooms. As an Eco House, we’re mindful of our environment; even our quaint pool is free from chemicals and soaps. For those less accustomed to the island climate, air conditioning is available to ensure your comfort amidst the tropical ambiance..

Other Details to Note

There are a few (but very good !) restaurants in Santa Fe, the rest is in General Luna Area. Santa Fe is known for its unique empty beaches, its uncrowded surf spots (& sometimes Kitesurf) and the kindness of its people. Our local friends are excellent surf instructors, and will be available for you if you're craving for surf lessons, at the beach right in front of the property. Being in the middle of wildlife, you may encounter jungle sounds at night, and experience the visit of some friendly bugs, insects sometimes frogs or the neighbors friendly dogs who wander through from time to time as you may find everywhere else in the island. Casa Mariposa has been designed to be at its cosiest for a couple of lovebirds / friends. However, it is possible to share the space for 2 additional people thanks to the pulling off bed if you want to live the experience in group. There are enough facilities and seating for more persons, so feel free to bring some friends for sunset drinks at the house !

Guests will enjoy complete privacy and exclusive use of the property, which is securely enclosed with its own gate. Immerse yourself in personal luxury with a private pool, outdoor kitchen, and bathrooms that are yours alone to enjoy. We now provide Starlink Powered Internet which usually goes over 100 Mbps. While nestled a short distance from the main road, ensuring peace and seclusion, we recommend our guests consider renting a motorbike or scooter for easy access to the house.

Casa Mariposa ist genau wie auf den Bildern - Überwältigend. Das kleine cozy hideaway hat es uns wirklich angetan. Insbesondere die Outdoor-Dusche ist der Hammer! Ausgestattet mit allem was es braucht - insbesondere einer Klimaanlage für die tropisch heißen Nächte - hätten wir hier durchaus weitere 10 Tage bleiben können ✌️ Wir möchten Seb und Dadou nicht nur für die Beherbergung danken, sondern auch für Ihre Erreichbarkeit und dass sie stets engagiert sind Ihren Gästen die Bestmögliche Urlaubs-Experience zu ermöglichen!

Wir waren eine Woche im Casa Mariposa und hatten eine wirklich tolle Zeit! Das Apartment ist super schön und stilvoll eingerichtet. Man fühlt sich direkt wohl! Klimaanlage und Ventilator vorhanden und funktionieren super, nur etwas lauter als gewöhnlich. Nicht weit von der Unterkunft entfernt gibt es das Bamboo Café, wir haben dort immer sehr lecker gefrühstückt! Wir würden die Unterkunft jederzeit wieder buchen!
